Jim et all,

Glad to hear you're getting the Model 14 - I expect a full report 
here on the list...unless of course if you don't like it - then shut 
the hell up, please.

just kidding.

I think you'll dig it.  Did I mention how  pleased I was how the 
crossfader turned out?

As far as what's coming next, all you guys had to do is ask!  The 
bottom line, now that I've got staff to handle production, I've been 
freed to complete new products.

Next up:

Model 10 Polyphonic EG - a week or so

Model 24 Heisenberg Generator (in about six weeks)

Model 18 Stereo mixer with 18A VC Expander (more on that in a 
second) - about two month's time

Model 16 Spectral Multiplexor and 16A Breakout - about two 
month's time.

Model  TBD Evil Twin "Blank Blank" - i'm still keeing this one 
behind a curtain for now, mainly because I'm digging all the 
spectulation on what it is. - You'll all know in about 2 1/2 to 3 
months when it's released.

Model 21 Milton Venti - three months

Model 23 Dual ASR - three months

There may be some joint ventures coming out as well, those 
with other synth manufacturers which will be released in multiple 
formats. 

On the Model 18...

We ran a poll a few months back to decide which format to 
realease the output mixer series.  That poll pointed towards the 
larger output system with the headphone amp and balanced 
outs.  Since then however I've received a lot of requests offline 
not to scrap the fourchannel pannable stereo mixer, so...I'm not.  
the first release will be a stand alone four channel stereo mixer 
(Model 16) and the 16A Expander, which will add four VC pan 
inputs, each with separate atttenuation pots and four VC Level 
inputs.  Most of the electronics will be on the main unit, the M16, 
so the expander will be  very affordable. 

The Main unit is 18HP and the 16A Expander is 8 HP.    Both 
inncorpoate EQUAL POWER TRANSFER PANNING - No dead 
spot in the center .  It's a really clean panning system

We will also be doing the larger output system, buut under 
another model number.  I've deciided that both can inhabit the 
same system.  You can't have enough mixers or processors in a 
moduylar synth.  

...especially Processors.

Did I mention our Processor's been released? 

Seriously, my system has four mixers annd beleive it or not, 10 
processors and I still find myself running short.
